Another good pollination year
« on: March 01, 2017, 01:54:17 pm »
For two years in a row, I've been paid a premium for every hive I shipped to California.  Better lucky than good I guess.  This year, we shipped about 500 hives.  In most past years, I've relied on someone there to feed after Christmas but my wife and I took over that job the past 2 years.  Worked out well so we'll continue doing it but we will downsize to only about a half a load in the years leading to our 70th birthdays....then, we'll downsize to a much smaller number of hives and winter everything in sunny North Dakota.  We'll miss the trips to CA, especially our time at the wineries! 8)
